I can't say this politely, so pardon the indignation, but this is pure 
bullshirt.

The disruption in communications I was talking about the inability of
aircraft to communitcate with international air traffic control, the
inability of ships at sea to communicate with costal stations, the
inability of police, the military and emergency services to communicate
more than line of sight, etc.

To compare this to the inability of a few people who bought a software
product to receive emails from you is extremely short sighted and selfish.

In plain English, look beyond your keyboard and your desire to get your
message to people who probably don't care about it anyway and see the
real damage that BPL causes.

In the real world, you complaints are about communications of little or no 
worth, while I am complaining about things that really do affect people's 
lives.

Geoff.
